Jason Ryan Dodges the Deck

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

With the board reading {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} by fourth street, Jason Ryan saw his lone opponent in the big blind tap the table for a check.

Ryan obliged with a shove for 4,900, and the big blind player began to agonize over what he called a "really tough decision."

After asking the table for one more minute to sort things through, the tanker finally stood up and announced a call.

Ryan immediately tabled his {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for an overpair to the board, confident that the fishhooks were out in front after his opponent's lengthy deliberation. Sure enough, the tanker could only muster {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair and a flush draw, and despite his urgent pleas for a "seven, queen or diamond," the dealer produced the {5-Spades} on the river to send him to the rail.

Ryan now sits with just under four times the starting stack in the third level of play.
